@kisdra@mastodon.social @mjf_pro@hachyderm.io @tchambers@indieweb.social I'm not saying that everyone will jump ship, or that everyone shares our opinion of Meta. But some people do, and will, if they have a sufficient alternative. I know a lot of people who are definitely tech savvy enough to use fedi platforms and only stay on facebook/twitter etc because people they want to interact with are there. I think this is the main reason more people haven't come to the fediverse, and not how hard it is. I have non tech savvy friends on fedi and they're doing fine.
@panos@calckey.social @kisdra@mastodon.social @mjf_pro@hachyderm.io @tchambers@indieweb.social I've been part of a discussion about this today over on kbin, and the consensus seems to be that the fediverse system is actually a lot simpler and straightforward for the average user than it looks like when we try to explain how it works.
There was a literal person complaining that it was too complicated for them to use federated communities so they just didn't bother, all the while commenting on a kbin thread from a lemmy instance without realizing they were doing so.
@CynAq @tchambers @mjf_pro @panos @kisdra@mastodon.social
The tech geeks (I speak as a tech geek, myself) want to get into the back-end details, the average user wants to hit a button and have it work. Giving them the details is just confusing and unnecessary.
